All grocery outlets in Dubai get similar makeover

Local grocery stores across the city to be branded the same

The Department of Economic Development (DED) had begun major plans for grocery outlets across Dubai. The DED has introduced new standards for all licensed groceries in the emirate, aimed at making them have visual uniformity.

“Through these new standards, DED is seeking to make a quantum leap in Dubai’s renowned shopping experience, and also enabling groceries to reflect the growth attained by the city in terms of infrastructure and service quality. The new concept stems from the emirate’s policy of enhancing competitiveness within various business sectors, and meeting the needs of the local community as well as visitors,” said Omar Bu Shahab, CEO of the Business Registration and Licensing (BRL) sector in DED to Gulf News.

The interior revamps of the stores include unification of everything from colour schemes, logos, and even lighting.
